About the Position
At Contrast, we make application security smart and simple for software teams. But simple is not easy, and the struggle is real. We are looking for a highly experienced UX designer for our Serverless product that analyzes software functions and access permissions for security issues. If you are a design thinker who loves security analysis, storytelling through data, onboarding new users, learning fast, and advocating strongly for simplicity and user needs, this is the role for you.
What you’ll do:
- Lead design research efforts to understand problems or surface opportunities for our users, who are security experts and software developers. Translate insights into action.
